A daughter has executed her own mum under one of Iran's most barbaric laws. Maryam Karimi died after her child kicked the chair from under her as she was hanged.
Maryam was condemned to die for the killing of her reportedly abusive husband, who refused to grant her a divorce. Her dad and only relative Ebrahim aided in the killing after failing to peacefully convince the stubborn son-in-law to do the right thing and allow his abused daughter a divorce.
Maryam's six-year-old little girl was taken to live with her dad's grandparents following the killing. She was told that she was an orphan and that her parents had died, with her new guardians keeping her in the dark for 13 years.
